The BMC House has cleared a proposal to amend the Development Plan (DP) 2034, which will replace the existing playground reservation at the Neville D'Souza Football Ground with a reservation for an Exhibition Centre.

The proposal affects an 8,450-sq-m MHADA-owned plot at Bandra Reclamation.

The existing playground facility will be replaced by a new reservation for an Exhibition Centre, as per the amended plan.

In this case, the amendment to the Development Plan (DP) 2034 reflects a shift in the intended use of the plot.

The MHADA-owned plot at Bandra Reclamation is a significant piece of land, and its use will have an impact on the surrounding area.

As the city continues to grow and develop, it is likely that there will be further changes to the Development Plan (DP) 2034.
